Nigeria's Presidential Tribunal Decision Is Approaching

 Bola Tinubu

The presidential election tribunal of Nigeria is expected to rule on Bola Tinubu's continuation as president on Wednesday after two candidates challenged his victory in the controversial poll in February. Numerous legal challenges to the outcomes of prior presidential elections in Nigeria have been made, but none of them have been successful. Most political analysts believe that Tinubu's victory will be upheld by the tribunal.

Atiku Abubakar of the People's Democratic Party and Peter Obi of the Labor Party petitioned the court to declare the election invalid due to irregularities. Among other things, they charged the election board with breaching the law by not submitting polling station results electronically.

The tribunal may, in addition to its other options, declare an election invalid and order a new election to be held. The nation's capital, Abuja, will make this decision. In the event that the electoral tribunal upholds Tinubu's victory, Atiku and Obi still have the option of submitting a final appeal with the nation's Supreme Court, which is Nigeria's highest court. An appeal must be started and finished within sixty days of the day the judge announced their decision.

The military set up roadblocks on the main thoroughfares into Abuja before to the ruling. Commuters and their vehicles were subjected to arbitrary searches at these checkpoints.

Ahead of the G20 conference, Tinubu, who is now in India, has defended his victory and said that reviving the economy is his top priority. He has implemented numerous reforms, including the abolition of currency restrictions and a well-liked but pricey gasoline subsidy.

In addition to slow economic growth, high unemployment, the worst inflation rate in two decades, record debt levels, massive oil theft that has hurt government revenues, and pervasive feelings of insecurity, Tinubu has inherited a number of issues from his predecessor, Muhammadu Buhari .
